The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.

The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to protect friendly satellites against hostile killer satellites. And there are killer satellites whose mission is to destroy other killer satellites.

This technology can also offer a shield that protects its satellites if the neutron bombs detonate on the orbiter. The neutron bombs offer a good solution. That can used to destroy enemy communication and recon satellites with other spaceborne mission support systems. And also friendly forces can use those neutron bombs to eliminate the spaceborne fractional orbital bombardment systems.

The OSIRIS-APEX also offers a solution. That can produce antimatter from solar particle flow. The antimatter bomb or a Teller bomb. A horrifying doomsday weapon is the antimatter capsule that can open in the atmosphere.

That weapon can destroy the entire Earth. And that's why it's interesting. One gram of antimatter releases so much energy in annihilation that it turns Earth into a molecular cloud. And maybe someday this kind of antimatter system can destroy incoming planet-size objects that can threaten Earth.

NASA's X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (Quesst) uses new body and wing geometry that makes very thin air cones in supersonic flight. This shape maximizes the time that the air cone travels to the ground.

But in extreme technology, the Project Orion spacecraft that uses nuclear bombs to give thrust can replace fission or fusion bombs using antimatter bombs. This kind of system can transport the first probes to the Alpha Centauri system.

Heat and plasma protection against things like EMP, laser, and plasmoid weapons are things, that can used to protect friendly aircraft against futuristic direct energy weapons (DEW). The micrometeor or micro asteroid shields can protect the aircraft and other vehicles against material ammunition. The same systems transport electromagnetic energy out from the shell.

Can used in the new stealth systems. The same systems can create a situation where high-energy plasma travels past the craft without impacting its shell. That thing gives a boost to nuclear-powered aerospace and space technology. This system can transfer the ions and electrons away from the craft's shell. And it can protect craft against particles that the nuclear explosion creates. Of course, it also protects the craft against plasmoid weapons.

The same solutions that protect OSIRIS-APEX can protect hypersonic aircraft. Heat in the hypersonic aircraft turns very high level. And in those aircraft internal structures and electronic systems must be protected against that heat. 'The hypersonic flight is more complicated than people normally believe. The system must designed in a way. That minimizes the air cone's effect on the ground. Engineers must also design the aircraft's body shape in a way that minimizes the heat.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th
